I also agree, there is no smoking gun here, just enough to cause me not to trust Ravitch or count her as one of my allies in the fight for the education of our youth (including my daughters). Even if there is no "conspiracy" I still don't view her new charge for "better curriculum" as on the side of learning. It still presumes that the agent in learning is not the learner. It still squashes discovery.Carl Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07539544230024970483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410712178423501059.post-81907750869203952242010-08-03T12:20:01.511-05:002010-08-03T12:20:01.511-05:00Paranoid much?

Large corporations (even publishing houses) have distinct editorial groups which may or may not work in conjunction with each other.<br /><br />What you've presented is a whole lot of conjecture with a couple of punchy quotes to lend credence, but there is a definite paucity of facts.Ian H.http://www.marturia.netnoreply@blogger.com
